Patent EP-1241011-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ARAI KENICHIRO
IPC: B41J2/01
Filed: 2002-03-15
Abstract: An ink jet printer (1) including an optical detector attached
to a carriage (8) on which a head chip is mounted, and one or more
detected parts that can be detected by the detector formed on sides
of ink cartridges (72,73) placed in an ink cartridge holder (71). Each of the
detected parts may be implemented as a right-angle prism. The one
or more detected parts are operable to detect the presence or
absence of ink and the corresponding ink cartridge being placed,
among other features. Since the common optical detector and the
one or more detected parts can detect a plurality of pieces of
information, the ink jet printer is extremely advantageous for cost
reduction and miniaturization as compared with the case where
dedicated detection mechanisms are provided in a one-to-one
correspondence with pieces of information to be detected as in a
related art.

Abstract: A method of communicating through a
passive optical network (PON) that improves the
efficiency of the network with low cost child
apparatuses having only simple functions. A parent
apparatus provides the child apparatuses with a
multi-frame standard signal, and a child apparatus
transfers asynchronous information as a frame of
variable length, as it is, at a time delayed from
the multi-frame standard signal by a time period
designated by the parent apparatus. Since the
asynchronous information does not need to be divided
into pieces to which a frame header is attached, the
efficiency of the uplink channel is increased.

Abstract: In a digital receiver for receiving COFDM modulated television signals or the like,
consecutive samples are compared (13-20) with a detection threshold (TH1) and the
number of samples having amplitudes greater than the threshold is determined (21).
This is compared (22) with a further threshold (No1) and, if the number of such samples
exceeds the further threshold, affected samples are blanked to zero (27). Similarly, an
automatic gain control loop (3, 30-33) is disabled when the samples are blanked. A
demodulator (28) forms the difference (51) in phase of pilot carriers from symbol to
symbol. If the variance of the phase differences exceeds an averaged value (55), this
indicates the presence of impulsive noise and is used to inhibit (58) signal correction
techniques within the demodulator. Noise energy is thus reduced and propagation of
effects resulting from impulsive noise from symbol to symbol is substantially reduced.

Abstract: The transmission of telecommunication signals according to the method is by use of a power amplifier (40) designed to amplify simultaneously several signals modulating different carriers with frequencies (f1,f2,f3) and comprises the input of modulated carriers to power-estimating devices (22,24,26) and the clamping of the composition of carriers signal upstream of the amplifier (40), which is associated with a digital pre-distortion organ (36) for linearizing the amplifier. The threshold of clamping depends on the sum of powers (P1+P2+P3) of signals to be transmitted, and at least one parameter (I,U) of functioning of the amplifier depends on the sum of powers so to maintain an optimal output of the amplifier and/or to minimize the difference between the saturation power and the average power of utilization. <??>The parameters of functioning of the amplifier (40) are supply voltage (U) and the polarization current (I). The clamping threshold is determined by a variable-gain element (38) associated with a clamping organ (32) providing a constant radius of clamping. The modification of gain caused by the modification of the clamping radius is compensated by a modification of gain in opposite sense so that the product of two gains is substantially equal to unity. The parameters of functioning of the amplifier (40) are varied at a sufficiently low rate so to allow the updating of the parameters of linearization of the amplifier. The point of functioning of the amplifier is fixed so that the maximum admissable power is slightly higher than the power necessary for the transmission of supplementary power on a rapid request. The margin of supplementary power is about 10%. The signals are transmitted in the Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) mode for each carrier, and the power is evaluated on the length of at least one symbol during each time interval The symbol utilized for the estimation is longer than the time interval. The estimation is effected at the rate of coding bits. The carriers are situated in adjacent bands. The application of the method is to a base station of a telecommunication system, or to a terminal of the telecommunication system.

Abstract: Pre-treatment with alpha,beta unsaturated aryl sulfones protects normal cells from the toxic side effects of ionizing radiation. Administration of a radioprotective alpha,beta unsaturated aryl sulfone compound to a patient prior to anticancer radiotherapy reduces the cytotoxic side effects of the radiation on normal cells. The radioprotective effect of the alpha,beta unsaturated aryl sulfone allows the clinician to safely increase the dosage of anticancer radiation. In some instances, amelioration of toxicity following inadvertent radiation exposure may be mitigated with administration of alpha,beta unsaturated arylsulfone.

Abstract: Speaker recognition (identification and/or verification) methods and systems, in which speech models for enrolled speakers consist of sets of feature vectors representing the smoothed frequency spectrum of each of a plurality of frames and a clustering algorithm is applied to the feature vectors of the frames to obtain a reduced data set representing the original speech sample, and wherein the adjacent frames are overlapped by at least 80%. Speech models of this type model the static components of the speech sample and exhibit temporal independence. An identifier strategy is employed in which modelling and classification processes are selected to give a false rejection rate substantially equal to zero. Each enrolled speaker is associated with a cohort of a predetermined number of other enrolled speakers and a test sample is always matched with either the claimed identity or one of its associated cohort. This makes the overall error rate of the system dependent only on the false acceptance rate, which is determined by the cohort size. The false error rate is further reduced by use of multiple parallel modelling and/or classification processes. Speech models are normalised prior to classification using a normalisation model derived from either the test speech sample or one of the enrolled speaker samples (most preferably from the claimed identity enrolment sample).
